Textile compositions comprising at least one filamentous fungus are disclosed, as are methods for making and using such textile compositions. Embodiments of the textile compositions generally include at least one of a plasticizer, a polymer, and a crosslinker, in addition to the filamentous fungus. The disclosed textile compositions are particularly useful as analogs or substitutes for conventional textile compositions, including but not limited to leather.

A textile structure includes a fiber-based layer and a glue layer. The fiber-based layer has meshes and includes fiber of which basic composition is cellulose. The glue layer penetrates into the meshes.

A biodegradable synthetic leather is a layered material that includes a layer of a biodegradable polyurethane, a backing layer, and an adhesive layer. The layered material is formed by bonding a first surface of the biodegradable polyurethane layer to a first surface of the layer of the bamboo fiber through the adhesive layer. In some embodiments, the biodegradable polyurethane layer is made from a mixture of polyurethane, a biodegradable additive, and in some cases, a colorant. The biodegradable additive in the mixture enhances biodegradability of polyurethane. In some embodiments, there is 1 to 2 wt % of the biodegradable additive in the biodegradable synthetic leather. A biodegradable coating may be formed on a second surface of the layer of the bamboo fiber to further enhance biodegradability of the layered material. In some embodiments, the biodegradable synthetic leather is formed solely from ingredients of plants.

The present disclosure relates to a silicone elastomeric coating composition for synthetic leather, particularly silicone-based synthetic leather, a silicone elastomeric coating (e.g., a topcoat) formed as a reaction product of the cure of the coating composition, methods of making the topcoat and synthetic leather utilizing the same and uses of synthetic leather products. The topcoat is designed to provide synthetic leather with an improved abrasion and scratch resistant topcoat.

Disclosed is a flexible material including a web of fibers chosen in the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers and aramid fibers, this web of fibers being impregnated on a so-called external face with an impregnation layer produced from a polymer binder and containing at least one plasticizing agent or a mixture of plasticizing agents. A fibrous textile substrate is superimposed on the web of fibers on an internal face of the web opposite the external face.
